A covert war between the Rock Gnomes in the Savage Hillscape and the Goblins and Kobolds in the same area broke out. Denied help by the Arcaedian Dominion, and rejected by their Fey Heritage, they were left to defend on their own. Both sides were cunning, with their own forms of ingenuity. For nearly two and a half decades, neither side could overrun the other.
Until the incident of 425-04-05, where a experimental gnome test weapon went off, and disintegrated a large area around a former settlement. The conclusion of the gnomes was to cover it up and apply contingency protections to prevent anything from entering the DMZ(disintegrated military zone), and anything that survived in.
A new budding township starts its roots and becomes a thriving home just North of Massarnae. Strange happenings are nearby but that would only scare the folk who can't muster the courage to step foot beyond the safety of city walls.
The party requires an extended amount of time to think about the things that had recently happened. The moral issues keep them from each other, from the leadership, and within their minds. Still, to pass the time and process hardships, they work to help the town build itself from a messy caravan and camp into working and hardworking village to start.
The new town has found its name, Dragon's Head. Named after the dragon that the party has defeated, with the idea of mounting its skull at the gate of the town. An impressive trophy or a noteworthy threat...
The Party arrives at Massarnae with Asatir. Asatir breaks off from the party and goes about getting his name and smithy registered with the Artisan's Guild. The Party goes to the Law District and gets the official township of Dragon's Head. On their way back to Asatir, they decide to deal with an unusual sewer smell. Afterwards, Ronpip splits off to try and find comfort in confession, but the party ends up back together when undead rise from the graves. At the end of the day, the party stinks and is tired from battles, and stop by a Leatherback Tunn to relax, only to be interrupted by The Beak as he threatens the party with retaliation of they continue to mess with his plans. But on a lighter note, they pick up a tiefling by the name of Kashoon!

After the excursions within Massarnae, the party returns to Dragon's Head.
The Party discovers a dragon has a lair nearby and investigates. Though, perhaps they are diving into more than they can swim...
After camping outside, the party spends time exploring the remains of a once living Elven City that has been consumed by a growing swamp. The party searches for the hammer described by the gold dragon, but there appears to be no such luck within the city. However, the nearby Citadel seems the most haunted but most likely location, and the party spends the rest of the day exploring a forlorn ruin haunted by hatred and fear...
The Party tries to retrieve the Hammer from the Citadel in Mira Esmerelda, however, they are stopped by an Undead General that guards the hammer. The party must stop him to retrieve the hammer, or give their lives to add to the haunted place! With ragged breathe and weary souls, the party comes out Victorious!!

The Party is guided by Bonley Shroomcap to the correct path within the Summer's Forest, keeping them safe and out of trickery from local fey-life. In no time, they reach their destination as requested by the Gold Dragon, and they hope to appeal with the Summerset Princess to join a Defensive Pact against the Northern Elven Armies.
The Party has met with the Summerset Princess and requested help against the Northern Elven invasion. However, she cannot do anything due to a pact treaty with them made ages ago. If the party visited the island and, with witness, saw that the tree on the island was dying, that meant the treaty was broken, and she may help them.

The Party is invite by House Foo by the Head of House Foo. He believes that his family is part of the treachery that is happening within the government and wishes the party to investigate in his stead. He offers them a few clues to which they may find some answers, but he otherwise has very little details.
The party interrogates the Royal Advisor under suspicion of poisoning the former Emperor, and discover some scrolls but they are in Wuzhiyan, which none of them speak. They go and see about getting it translated by a dragonborn in the dockslums, who helps them for a big fish.
